2004 Summer Computer Simulation Conference
SCSC 2004

July, 25-29,2004

Hyatt San Jose, San Jose', California

Sponsored by:
The Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS) 


July, 25-29,2004 - Hyatt San Jose', California, USA

The Summer Computer Simulation Conference is focusing on Innovative Technologies for Simulation this year. Modeling and Simulation is a very critical area for supporting Research and Development as well as competitiveness worldwide; new technologies are enabling new use of M&S and increasing its impact in new areas; SCSC provides an International Forum for presenting the State of the Art in the International Simulation Community as well as the Effectiveness of Simulation Experiences in World Businesses. Several topical perspectives will serve to illuminate the evolution of the modeling and simulation community. All submissions will be reviewed based on the draft full paper and/or extended abstract.

The SCSC2004 Student Workshop, devoted to PhD Students, Master Students and Undergraduates willing to submit a paper to be presented during SCSC2004, enables students to attend the workshop and get a SCSC2004 CD copy including the whole Conference Proceedings with a very special registration fee ($55 USD, Student ID and Professor Check Required). The Student Workshop speakers will compete for the Best SCSC2004 Student Paper Award (in SCSC2003 Montreal it included a check for $1,500 USD for the winner provided by The AEgis Technologies). All the accepted student papers will be included in SCSC2004 CD-Proceedings, but are keep separate from SCSC2004 hardcopy proceedings, while regular papers are both included in SCSC2004 hardcopy and CD Proceedings.

The Conference Committee will choose also the best SCSC2004 papers for awards; these awards will include consideration of those papers for possible publication in a special issue of an International Journal.

PAPER SUBMISSION

Extended abstracts (4-6 pages), full draft papers or other proposals should be submitted for the review process as a PDF file to the site http://scs.proceedingscentral.com/ by February 28, 2004. Each extended abstract must include the title, authors, affiliations, addresses, references and summary (4-6 pages) for proper positioning in the conference. Only original papers, written in English, which have not been published previously elsewhere will be accepted. Please indicate which conference topic is most appropriate, listing first and second choices. Notifications of acceptance status will be sent on April 12, 2004.

Please note that in case of acceptance  your final manuscript will need to be submitted electronically as a PDF file to the site http://scs.proceedingscentral.com/ by May 9, 2004 to guarantee inclusion in the conference CD and final program. Authors of accepted papers are expected to attend the conference, present their work to their peers, transfer copyright, and pay a conference registration fee at the time their camera-ready paper is submitted.
